I guess my lotus couldnt handle the pressure from the new toy and self-destructed...  ExigeS failed the jealousy test. So Monster is my new DD
Last Tuesday early morning asked my brother to move the car round the corner (50ft) and left to ride my 696. Got home afternoon and in lil while my brother shows up with a tow truck. So i go outside to take a look. u know the rest of the story...   he hit a bump on BQE driving in left lane, bounced into the divider, semi, divider again, and tractor-trailer again. Walked away with no scratch. Monster inherited a temporary Exige cover...

Ouch....

that left some marks.

It hurts just to look at those pictures... if it was anyone but your brother you would have to kill them... slowly.  Too bad, awesome car.  Good luck with the insurance co.

that sucks.

but the main point is that your bro is ok...

Owwwww........just how fast was he going when he went over the bump?

Glad everyone is ok.

Car = total.  Those things are built so light, they take a decent hit and are twisted/fubar'd.

So have you filed a missing person report for your brother, so the police are less likely to suspect you. 

Man that sux!

When is your brother's funeral?


j/k


Is the insurance picking up the damage?

LOL, i will keep him alive. He was the one convinced me to buy this thing anyway...

That was painful to look at.

Kinda off topic, I was reading in this week's Navy Times and they had an article about Yak Pilots. You belong to that group?

Oh man, I thought you meant Lotus the company.

Sorry about the car.  They are phenomenal cars. I drove one (a regular Elise) just a few months ago around some curvy roads here in northern Utah (and a parade lap at Miller Motorsports Park).  I love them dearly, now if only they would hold 2 sets of golf clubs, I'd be sold.

Sorry for the loss of your car, and glad your bro is OK.  I hope you get to pick another new baby to replace it as I'm quite sure it's totalled.

He deserves some sort of "hit" don't you think?    Lightweight build, or not, that was no low speed crash. I suspect he was hooked up pretty good.

If it was one of my bros I'd be slapping him...

That should buff right out.
